CORRECT USE OF THE PRODUCT
This appliance is intended for domestic use as a
steam generator, in accordance with the descrip-
tions and instructions contained in this manual.
Please read these instructions carefully and keep
them for future reference.
Polti S.p.A. declines all liability for any damage
or accident deriving from any use of this
appliance which is not in conformity with the
instructions contained in this booklet.
ATTENTION
Directive 2002/96/EC (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment - WEEE): information for
users
This product complies with EU Directive
2002/96/EC.
The crossed-out wastebasket symbol on
the appliance means that at the end of its
useful lifespan, the product must be
disposed of separately from ordinary hou-
sehold wastes.
The user is responsible for delivering the appliance
to an appropriate collection facility at the end of its
useful lifespan.
Appropriate separate collection to permit recycling,
treatment and environmentally compatible disposal
helps prevent negative impact on the environment
and human health and promotes recycling of the
materials making up the product. For more infor-
mation on available collection facilities, contact
your local waste collection service or the shop
where you bought this appliance.
IMPORTANT
Before leaving our factory all our products are rigo-
rously tested. This is the reason why your Vaporetto
may contain some residual water in the tank.
PREPARATION
• Remove the appliance from the packaging,
checking that the product is whole and that all the
parts are there.
• Insert the handle into the specific opening on the
appliance (A)(Fig. 1), making sure that the pin on
the handle lines up with the hole on the applian-
ce (Fig. 1a).
ATTENTION:
Danger of burns!

• Unscrew the screw (B) from the appliance (A),
using an appropriate screwdriver. Connect the
appliance (A) to the brush (10) and tighten the
screw (B) (Fig. 2).
Warning: Check every so often that the screw
is tight.
• Remove the water tank (5) from the appliance
pulling it upward (Fig. 3). Unscrew the cap with
the water take-up hose and remove it from the
tank (Fig. 4).
• Fill the tank with water using the jug supplied
(Fig. 5). Water by its nature contains limescale
which, as time goes by, can cause problems. To
protect your appliance, use demineralised water.
Do not add other substances or additives to the
tank.
• Screw the cap with the water take-up hose back
on the tank and hook it back on the appliance
(Fig. 6).
• Position the cloth (11/14) under the brush (Fig. 7)
and fasten it by pulling the cord (Fig. 8).
Warning: Do not use the appliance without
the cloth.
USE
• Plug the power lead (4) into a suitable socket
with an earth connection. The power indicator
light will come on (8).
• The power indicator light (8) will remain on con-
stantly indicating that the appliance is connected
to the mains.
• Wait for the pressure indicator lamp (9) to come
on. At this point the appliance is ready for use.
• To release the brush (10) from the appliance, put
your foot on the brush (10) and at the same time
tilt the handle (1) (Fig. 10). To block it again, just
return it to the original position (Fig. 10).
• Press the steam button (2) to dispense steam. To
stop it, release the steam button (2).
• Clean the floors by moving the brush forward and
backward.
• To clean rugs and carpets, rest the brush (with
the cloth attached) on the special frame (12) so
that it can slide on the surface (Fig. 9).
NOTE: the steam ready light (9) turns on and off
during use. This indicates that the electric resistan-
ce is operating to keep temperature constant and is
therefore quite normal.
Warning:
- To remove the cloth from the brush, detach the
power supply plug from the electric socket and
wait a few minutes to allow the cloth to cool.
NO WATER
When the water inside the tank (5) runs out, steam
will stop being emitted and a considerable increase
in noise will be heard. In any case, the water level
is always visible thanks to the transparent tank.
To restart operations just fill the water tank (5)
again as described in the paragraph “PREPARA-
TION”.
Warning: This operation must always be done
by disconnecting the appliance from the mains.
LIMESCALE FILTER
By nature, water contains mineral salts that favour
the formation of scale.
Vaporetto Action is supplied with a limescale filter
(7) which reduces the passage of mineral salts and
therefore the formation of limescale.
Always use demineralised water.
We recommend that the filter be changed 2 times
per year.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
• Unplug from the mains electricity.
• Remove the water tank (5) (Fig. 3) pulling it
upward, then remove the filter (7), still pulling
upward (Fig. 13).
• Position the new filter (7), push gently and make
sure that it is perfectly inserted (Fig. 13), then re-
position the water tank (Fig. 6).
Inside the package there is a spare filter (7), in addi-
tion to the one already mounted on the appliance.
STORING THE DEVICE
After use, proceed as follows before putting the
appliance away:
- unplug the power supply from the mains.
- completely empty the water tank (5) to avoid
water leaks
- detach the cloth from the brush, waiting a few
minutes to allow it to cool.
- wind the power supply cable around the special
cable rewinds (3) and (6) before replacing the
appliance.
Warning:
- Before using the appliance again, remember
to unwind the power cable completely. The
upper cable winder (3) rotates 180° in order to
wind up the power cable quickly.
- Do not keep the appliance connected to the
power supply with the cable wound up.

PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR THE USE
OF THE ACCESSORIES
PRECAUTIONS
• Before treating leather, special fabrics and wood
surfaces, consult the manufacturer’s instructions
and always carry out a test on a hidden part or on
a sample of the material. Allow the steamed part
to dry to make sure that no changes in colour or
deformations have occurred.
• Please pay careful attention when cleaning woo-
den surfaces and treated terracotta flooring as
prolonged use of steam may damage the wax,
polish or colour of the surfaces to be cleaned. We
therefore recommend only steaming these surfa-
ces for short periods of time, or cleaning using a
previously steamed cloth.
• The universal cloth (11) can be used on most
surfaces. If when using the universal cloth (11), it
does not slide smoothly, you can use the very
smooth cloth (14).
CARE OF YOUR APPLIANCE
• Before attempting any maintenance operation,
make sure to always disconnect the appliance
from the mains.
• To clean the body of the appliance, simply use a
moist cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents as
these could damage the plastic surfaces.
• The cloths provided can be washed by following
the instructions included on the label.
